Tracking

July has been one of our biggest months yet for UTM Manager. Our goal remains simple: help marketers build cleaner UTM links, maintain naming consistency, and make campaign tracking easier across teams. Over the past few weeks, we’ve shipped several improvements focused on governance, collaboration, and workflow efficiency. Chrome Extension One of the most requested […]

Every messy GA4 report we’ve ever audited traces back to the same root cause: somewhere, a human typed a UTM value by hand. Not a careless human, either. A perfectly competent marketer, on a Friday, launching six campaigns at once, who typed Facebook instead of facebook, or spring sale with a space, or pasted a

Email has a dirty attribution secret: it’s the channel most likely to be invisible in your analytics. Here’s why. When someone clicks a link in Gmail, Apple Mail, or Outlook, that click usually arrives at your site with no referrer at all — email clients don’t pass one the way websites do. So GA4 has

Ask most marketers how many UTM parameters exist and they’ll say five. Ask GA4, and the answer is nine. The gap between those two numbers is where a surprising amount of free attribution value sits in 2026. While everyone fights over utm_source and utm_medium, GA4 has quietly supported a second tier of parameters — utm_id,

Open GA4’s Traffic acquisition report on almost any account and you’ll find a channel called Unassigned quietly eating a chunk of the traffic. We’ve seen accounts where it was the third-largest “channel” — bigger than email, bigger than paid social. The team was running real campaigns with real budgets, and GA4 was shrugging at the

Another team creates sale_spring_2026. A third team uses US-Spring-Sale. Before long, reporting becomes difficult because similar campaigns are scattered across multiple names. This is where campaign prefixes can help.

One of the most common reporting problems in Google Analytics 4 starts with a simple issue: Inconsistent UTM medium naming. Examples like: may all represent the same traffic source. But to GA4, they are completely different mediums. That creates messy reports, inaccurate channel grouping, and unreliable marketing analysis. Why Medium Matters The utm_medium parameter is

Most campaign tracking problems don’t start in GA4.They start with a broken link. A missing slash.A typo in the URL.An extra character in a parameter.A landing page that redirects incorrectly. And once the campaign is live, every click costs money. Before launching any campaign, take 30 seconds to test the final tagged URL. That one

The Problem: Spaces in UTM Parameters It might seem harmless to name your campaign like this: But under the hood, this creates a problem. When a URL contains spaces, browsers automatically convert them into encoded characters: That %20 is the encoded version of a space. Now imagine this happening across dozens—or hundreds—of campaigns. 👉 Your
